Inventor: KITAMURA TAMOTSU
IPC: H01L23/528
Filed: 2007-06-08
Abstract: An automatic trace shaping method comprises the steps of: setting sets of coaxial equiangular octagons each having sides parallel with a predetermined reference line; performing a process for tentatively disposing the traces, each having segments passing between the adjacent vias V1 -V4, so that such segments overlap any sides of the equiangular octagons that are set for the vias existing at positions nearest to such segments sequentially for each trace so that at least clearance can be secured from the trace for which the process has been completed immediately before; and performing a process for further correcting positions of the tentatively disposed traces that cannot secure the clearance from the other adjacent tentatively disposed traces W1 ,W2 so that at least the clearance can be secured from such other tentatively disposed traces.

Title: Film loading arrangement for laminator
Inventor: GAINES ERVIN
IPC: B32B37/22
Filed: 2006-08-04
Abstract: A film loading arrangement simplifies the film loading process for- a user and prevents the improper loading of a laminate film roll (102) into a laminator (100). The components allow the laminate roll of film to be loaded in The correct orientation by providing differing connection structures (120,220) on each end of the laminate film roll. The differing connection structures are received by respective receiving structures (150, 250) on the laminator. Each connection structure is compatible with only one of the receiving structures such that when the connection structures are attached to the roll, the film can be loaded in only one direction, i.e., correctly. Therefore, the user can properly load a laminate film roll and avoid damaging the laminator as a result of improper film loading. A tensioning mechanism can be provided for adjusting the force required to unroll laminating film from the supported roll.

Title: Controlling the flow of coolant through a heat exchanger during cooling
Inventor: COOK CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL
IPC: B67D1/00
Filed: 2005-08-17
Abstract: A beverage dispense system employs a supply line 4 connectable to a source 1 of beverage for delivering beverage to a dispense tap 5. When it is required to clean the line, it is connected to a source of cleaning fluid (not shown). Beverage in the supply line 4 is cooled by heat exchange with coolant in a heat exchanger 7 prior to dispense. However, coolant flow through the heat exchanger 7 is prevented when the supply line 4 contains cleaning fluid to prevent the cleaning fluid freezing in the heat exchanger 7. The heat exchanger 7 has a side for the passage of beverage in the first mode of operation, and cleaning fluid in the second mode of operation. It has a second side for the passage of coolant. Control means 15 allows flow of coolant in the first mode of operation and prevents flow of coolant through the heat exchanger in the second mode of operation. The control means 15 may include a flow sensor 12 and a valve 11.

Title: Cooking method and apparatus using a unique identifier for the food item
Inventor: MCINTYRE MICHAEL JAMES
IPC: G06Q50/00
Filed: 2008-12-22
Abstract: The method comprises obtaining a unique identifier and cooking data for the food item, and checking for a record of the unique identifier in a memory of the cooking apparatus. If a record of the unique identifier is located in the memory, then the cooking apparatus will not cook the food item. Otherwise a cooking process based on the cooking data to cook the food item is performed and the unique identifier subsequently stored in the cooking apparatus memory. Accordingly, cooking data for a given instance of a food item can only be used once in order to activate a cooking process performed by the cooking apparatus The identifier may be in the form of a bar-code, RFID tag, in a form which may be inputted by a keypad, or supplied from a transmission network coupled to a computing server. A number of cooking apparatuses may be linked via a data communication system (figs 3,4) so that the unique identifier may be stored on any of the linked apparatus and the present invention may thus features product recall as well as the ability to track food item sales via a cooking data communications system. The cooking apparatus may have the ability to compensate for weight, voltage or temperature variation and the system may allow certain items to be cooked at the same time. An example of creating the unique identifier and cooking data is disclosed (Fig 5).

Title: Colorant compositions and their use as PH sensitive color indicators
Inventor: MOORE PATRICK D
IPC: C09B11/14
Filed: 2007-11-01
Abstract: This invention relates to compositions of BiS-(N1N disubstituted-aminophenyl)phenyl methane colorants that decolorize rapidly when applied to surfaces having a basic pH, such as concrete, but remain visually apparent on vegetation and soil. These compositions can also be used as pH indicators in their colorless form by developing color on acidic surfaces or in acidic materials, such as in/on paint, ice, concrete, and acid cured polymer systems. The compositions are also useful as spray pattern indicators for landscaping, construction, and golf course applications. The compositions also exhibit reduced toxicity when compared to other traditional colorants of similar shade used as spray pattern indicators.
